The Case for the natural science model for research in organizational behavior and organization theory
The application of the natural science approach to the study of organizational behavior and organization theory has recently been attacked as inappropriate for the following reasons: 1. Each organization is unique from all others, so the development of precise laws is not possible. 2. Organizations are subject to the instability of social changes, and natural science research cannot capture these changes. 3. Organizations are more sensitive than scientific objects of study, and may behave differently if they know what researchers hypothesize about them. 4. Manipulating variables in organizational research can cause changes in the object of the study, making it act unrealistically. 5. Epistemological differences between natural science and organizational studies place more importance on cause/effect relationships in the former. The natural science approach is still valuable in organizational studies when thoughtfully applied, however, for while all groups may be unique, generalizations about narrow populations can be combined to arrive at higher order generalizations
